Comedy often makes us laugh but doesn’t manage to touch our hearts. Explore your vulnerability and the “stupidity” of your playful spirits.
For this workshop we will use clown skills because:
The clown is a state where urgency prevails, living in the moment, in the 'Here and Now'. Through the clown, explore the world from a more positive viewpoint, free from moral and logical constraints. Discover your true sense of pleasure and joy in play as we delve into the world of the clown. Together we will ranging from the ridiculous to the grotesque to the innocent. Comedy often makes us laugh but doesn't manage to touch our hearts. When we work from a place of personal truth and with the vulnerability of the clown, our comedy reaches a much deeper place. This class will explore that place where you go beyond gags and finding your clown who can touch the hearts in a way that makes our comedy more universal and makes us laugh from the gut.
Student feedback:
"This workshop changed the Clownworld for me, with your empathie and energy I did a big step into my own Clown- thank you so much."
"The workshop with Ashwath was simply a unique experience. It was the 2nd time I attended it and I will definitely do it again. You get a different perspective on clowning and are challenged to your limits and sometimes beyond. You do things you wouldn't think you would ever do in front of an audience, but all in a protected setting. Enlightening, relieving, uplifting, unique. Again and again..."
